Keyboard and Software

These new laptops are Asus’ first to feature RGB backlighting. The lights are divided into four zones across the keyboard, and can be customized with Asus’ new ROG Aura software.

Price and Availability

Both are available now. The GL553 is at $1,099 and and the GL753 is $1,299.

Outlook

The two laptops have really pretty keyboards, that’s for sure, but at 0ver $1,000, they are both more expensive than some other laptops with GTX 1050 and 1050 TI that we saw at CES this year. But if you like Asus’ design and ROG branding, these laptops will be right up your alley.
